rents prevailing in Ireland were excessive, or
that general and reasonable abatements had

had not been increased in Ireland for forty
years, whereas in England, Scotland and Wales
rents in the same time had been increased 81 to
40 per cent. The landlords of ireland, it is fur

neglect their duties toward either property or
the community "If, Gays the resolution I'VE
